We had a wonderful stay at the Ekadolli Nubian guesthouse. As we had to leave early, the host kindly prepared a take-away breakfast, which was very thoughtful. During our stay, we were also taken on a free tour of the Nubian village, giving us a great insight into local life and culture. We even had the chance to see crocodiles, which made the experience truly unique and memorable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we felt well looked after throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic Nubian experience.
I recently stayed a few days at the Aswan Citymax Hotel, and here are my thoughts.
First, the building and room interiors generally have an older feel. It's not flashy or equipped with the latest facilities, and the furniture and decor leaned towards a classic style. However, the impression of being dated didn't translate into discomfort. Rather, the calm, aged atmosphere felt quite charming. What I particularly liked was the cleanliness. The room floors, bedding, and bathroom were all meticulously maintained, with no visible dust or stains. The towels were fluffy and well-arranged, making for a pleasant stay.
The breakfast was also impressive. While not extravagant or exceptionally delicious, the food wasn't heavily seasoned and had a mild flavor, making it easy to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. The spice aromas weren't strong, making it suitable for breakfast. There was also a good selection of bread, fruits, and simple hot dishes, making it convenient to choose from. Personally, I prefer plain, unflavored tastes that aren't too sweet or salty, and if you share that preference, you'll likely be satisfied.
The staff were friendly, and the check-in process was smooth. The accessibility to nearby attractions is also decent, making it a good value-for-money option if you're planning to tour Aswan. Initially, I was a bit concerned about the old exterior, but thanks to the immaculate upkeep, I felt comfortable throughout my stay. Overall, I was very satisfied with the hotel, to the point where I'd consider returning.
We had a nice stay, the Housekeeping staff are excellent.
Towels in the bathroom need to get rid because it is old.
Back of the bathroom door is a bit old and not cleaned.
guest relation Christine was not helpful until I called reception and asked about her name.
Reception staff need to be welcoming and friendly.
Our TV didn’t have a signal since arrival, I had to call reception every day a few times to sort it out.
It worked sometimes but was frustrating loosing signal while watching TV and have to ask reception to help. When it happened in the morning, I had to wait until 3pm when maintenance arrive.
Also the screen was blurry.
We had very good service in the restaurant .
the boat service is very good.
Everything in this hotel was amazing ”the view , cleanliness , staff , and food ”
you feel like it's not just a hotel , but like you're with your family and you never want to leave
they have a really nice restaurant , i highly recommend trying the food there
specially thanks for Rowan & Aya for their hospitality
I am really enjoying staying in this traditional Nubian house, the service is great! The owner always ready to help the guests ! The nubian room is clean and nice! And the traditional breakfast is very tasty!
It’s located near the Nubian village so you can enjoy this ancient people close.
I really recommend this house!
The hotel is located in a rather remote area, making it a good stopover for those driving. The breakfast was poor, with nothing particularly appealing. The water park was closed, and the surrounding environment was unpleasant. I wouldn't recommend it for families with children.
I’m trying to write this review to be fair to everyone who wants to book this hotel, first of all the hotel wasn’t clear on which room I have booked even though I showed them my room details which is nile view but again never got the room i had to pay around 20 USD extra per day to get the nile view, second the location is odd and confusing even for locals especially if I order a ride I can’t get them to come to the hotel’s entrance, sometimes I had to walk up to them, yet after that the staff were nothing short of accommodating and super especially musa the receptionist and Mohammed the handyman, the food is so and so but ppl are accommodating and super.
This is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village.
First of all, you have to be able to tolerate:
1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel.
2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide).
3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it.
4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel.
5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person...
What did we get here?
1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am.
2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic.
3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic.
4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles.
5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay.
The service was excellent, but once a booking is confirmed, changing the dates is virtually impossible. They offer airport pickup, and both the restaurant and its service were great. While the room was small, the air conditioning, hot water, and bedding were quite comfortable. It would be perfect for solo travelers!

GGuest UserWe booked two garden view rooms for our family trip. Hilariously, we checked in at 2:30 PM that day, then rushed to a scenic spot and dinner. When we returned to the hotel around 8:40 PM, our room key cards weren't even ready – incredibly inefficient. To make matters worse, there was no hot water in the rooms. The temperature had dropped significantly that day, and I was traveling with a 3-year-old and my 70-year-old mother. Both rooms had no hot water. I called the front desk, and they said they'd send someone, but we waited a good twenty minutes before a staff member finally arrived. It was clear the staff member wasn't trained; they couldn't speak English and immediately used their dirty hands to touch all the bath towels in the room. Then they just said ”five minutes” and left. We waited another ten-plus minutes with the child, and still no news. I had no choice but to call the front desk again and ask for a room change. I was told the hotel was fully booked. Desperate, I contacted Ctrip, and their overseas specialist spent a long time negotiating before the hotel finally agreed to a room change. However, by then it was past 10 PM, and our child couldn't stay up any longer. We had no choice but to give the child a quick wash and put them to bed. I've never encountered such a poorly managed hotel. I have no idea how it got a 4.9 rating. Also, the hotel's advertised free airport shuttle service is only available at 4 AM and 6 PM; all other times are chargeable. I'm writing this to save others from making the same mistake! We chose this hotel because it's part of the MGM brand, and the room decor and hardware are quite good, but the service (software) is absolutely terrible. So, our conclusion is: in Egypt, don't just look at the brand name of a hotel; as long as it's locally managed, it's a complete mess. ಢ🌚ಢ

TTeangtangtotteiI heard that the more prosperous part of Aswan is the east bank of the Nile, but this is a small hotel in a Nubian village on the west bank of the Nile. If you have a chartered car, you can stay in the village to experience the Nubian culture (there is a section of road under construction into the village, it is not easy to walk and it is very dark at night). You can see the sunrise over the Nile when you go out in the morning. It is very quiet and the small village is also very beautiful. The service is particularly good. The breakfast (some bread, yogurt and boxed juice) will be packed for the morning meeting. There is an independent bathroom, but the light is dim, so I lowered my expectations. It is normal and good conditions in Egypt. At least it is clean, the bath water is hot, and it is not a problem to sleep in clothes for a night.
GGuest Usersuper friendly staff, one of the reception, dina, was really friendly and happy to help with anything. she gave me her personal whatsapp number and i can just reach out for whatever needs i have and she is always happy to help
hotel itself is beautiful and comfortable to stay in
highly recommended
GGuest UserThe hotel is right by the Nile River. There is a large area full of his homes. It is a bit like a more distinctive homestay. It is in Nubian style, and there are many distinctive decorations in the room.
The hotel is located in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is deserted and remote, so it is also very quiet. The hotel we booked to pick us up from Cairo to Aswan was charged $55. It took about 40 minutes to drive. I felt cheated. In fact, you can call a taxi directly from the airport. It is not as chaotic as it is said on the Internet.
The breakfast in the hotel is not bad. The fried egg is very delicious. There is a waiter who is Nubian. He is very nice to me. He will take the initiative to help me carry things and remind me to pay attention to the steps. It is the most sincere and friendly service I feel in my trip to Egypt. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask his name. When I left, I wanted to find him to tip but couldn't find him.
GGuest UserAmazing time ,basic rooms ,but clean beds towels. Hot shower and the best view but 100% of the credit for our amazing time goes, to helma the manager and his staff especially khalid who was there for everything we needed , Helmy went above and beyond driving us to the sights for less than.a taxi , but the most amazing was. The Nile under our Balcony full of. Feluka boats to take you to ancient temples and delicious waterside cafes and historic islands this hotel might look nothing.but if you want the true Nubian experience of aswanth8s 8s the place for you ,basic breakfast of bread honey eggs and cheese with tomatoes for the price amazing ,, Linda and ivy uk x
